    Recent Milestones

    ViteX Releasing Zero-fee, Mine-able, Decentralized Stablecoin Conversion

    ViteX will soon debut its zero-fee stablecoin transfer service between four initial stablecoins USDT, USDC, DAI, and BUSD. This service is based on ViteX, the completely decentralized exchange protocol. The service not only secures users’ digital assets, but also requires no account registration or complex KYC process. In addition, to stimulate liquidity and reduce slippage, stablecoin transactions will come with liquidity mining (aka “market-making as mining,”) where limit order providers will earn VX.
